Planting and Growing Your Own Herb Garden

After reading yesterday's post that outlined just how beneficial herbs can be for your health, you may have gotten inspired to grow and herb garden of your own. So here are a few tips to make yours more successful.

If you have a sunny spot in your yard, you can start a
little garden there. Lay it out in
any design that looks pretty to you.

No matter which kind of herb garden you want to grow, you will be more
successful if you know the type of soil and the light requirements for your
herb selections and it’s also nice to know how tall they grow and how wide they
spread. So here is a handy
chart I found on the “How Stuff Works” website. For even more information you

If you want to plant an intricate design, I highly recommend
using seed tape. The beauty
of seed tape is that you can easily control the placement of the seeds to make
certain that your herbs will actually make the design you were aiming for. Plus many seeds are so small that it’s
difficult to space them evenly.
Seed tape makes fast work of all of that.

My friend Linda was nice enough to share her directions for
creating your own. All you need is
toilet paper, some paste (mix any type of flour you have in your kitchen with
water to create a slurry), and seeds.

Lay a strip of the toilet paper out and place just enough
slurry on so that as you place the seeds they have something to cling to. Space the seeds according to package
directions. Fold the toilet paper
in half. If you plan to wait a few
days or weeks to start planting, be sure you allow your seed tape to dry
thoroughly.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
